ABSTRACT

The present disclosure relates to an ionic compound, and a coating composition and an organic light emitting device including the same.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This application claims priority to and the benefits of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2016-0158461, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Nov. 25, 2016, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The present specification relates to an ionic compound, and a coating composition and an organic light emitting device including the same.

BACKGROUND ART

An organic light emission phenomenon is one of examples converting a current to visible light by an internal process of specific organic molecules. A principle of an organic light emission phenomenon is as follows. When an organic material layer is placed between an anode and a cathode and a current is applied between the two electrodes, electrons and holes are injected to the organic material layer from the cathode and the anode, respectively. The holes and the electrons injected to the organic material layer recombine to form excitons, and light emits when these excitons fall back to the ground state. An organic light emitting device using such a principle may be generally formed with a cathode, an anode, and an organic material layer placed therebetween, for example, an organic material layer including a hole injection layer, a hole transfer layer, a light emitting layer and an electron transfer layer.

Materials used in an organic light emitting device are mostly pure organic materials or complex compounds in which organic materials and metals form complexes, and may be divided into hole injection materials, hole transfer materials, light emitting materials, electron transfer materials, electron injection materials and the like depending on the application. Herein, as the hole injection material or the hole transfer material, organic materials having a p-type property, that is, organic materials readily oxidized and having an electrochemically stable state when oxidized, are generally used. Meanwhile, as the electron injection material or the electron transfer material, organic materials having an n-type property, that is, organic materials readily reduced and having an electrochemically stable state when reduced, are generally used. As the light emitting layer material, materials having both a p-type property and an n-type property, that is, materials having a stable form in both oxidized and reduced states, are preferred, and materials having high light emission efficiency converting, when excitons are formed, the excitons to light are preferred.

In addition to the properties described above, it is preferred that materials used in an organic light emitting device additionally have properties as follows.

First, materials used in an organic light emitting device preferably have excellent thermal stability. This is due to joule heating produced by charge migration in the organic light emitting device. NPB normally used as a hole transfer layer material currently has a glass transition temperature of 100° C. or lower, and has a problem in that it is difficult to use in organic light emitting devices requiring a high current.

Second, in order to obtain a highly efficient organic light emitting device capable of low voltage driving, holes or electrons injected into the organic light emitting device need to be smoothly transferred to a light emitting layer, and at the same time, the injected holes and electrons need to be kept from escaping out of the light emitting layer. For this, materials used in the organic light emitting device need to have a proper band gap and a HOMO or LUMO energy level. PEDOT:PSS currently used as a hole transfer material in an organic light emitting device manufactured using a solution coating method has a lower LUMO energy level compared to a LUMO energy level of organic materials used as a light emitting layer material, and therefore, has a problem in manufacturing an organic light emitting device with high efficiency and long lifetime.

In addition thereto, materials used in an organic light emitting device need to have excellent chemical stability, charge mobility, and interface property with electrodes or adjacent layers. In other words, materials used in an organic light emitting device need to undergo less material deformation caused by moisture or oxygen. In addition, by having proper hole or electron mobility, the materials need to maximize exciton formation through balancing hole and electron density in a light emitting layer of the organic light emitting device. For device stability, the materials also need to improve an interface with electrodes including metals or metal oxides.

Accordingly, development of organic materials fulfilling such requirements has been required in the art.
